The Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia announced it will maintain intentionally small full‑time MBA cohorts—capped at 80 to 100 students—as a strategic response to a tightening MBA market. Interim dean Santanu Chatterjee and program director Jason Matthews described the move as risk management: tighter advising, deeper employer relationships and intensified internship integration. Terry’s model treats internships as primary offer signals, reflecting shifts in employer recruiting where firms are reducing class sizes and relying more on summer programs to vet talent. The college reported high conversion rates from internships to full‑time offers, stressing curriculum and career services alignment with employer needs. For business schools facing enrollment pressure and AI‑driven resume noise, Georgia Terry’s choice emphasizes program quality and placement outcomes over scale.
